Is a permit needed to hike in the Weminuche Wilderness?
Individual permits are not required to enter the Weminuche Wilderness, but please sign in at trailheads where registers are available. This information helps the Forest Service monitor recreational use patterns. It can also help locate you in case of an emergency. Permits ARE required if you are outfitting or leading a group of any size for monetary or other compensation, even if you are doing so as a nonprofit organization. Please use low-impact hiking and camping techniques while visiting our fragile Wilderness areas. For more information on Leave-No-Trace ethics, please visit the Web site at: http://www.lnt.org/.
